The food quality is bad. The staff is very rude. The floor is very slippery and always wet with no signs. I almost slipped 2 times. Not clean food and we got sick after eating there

Love this spot!! Came for the first time with my family and we were impressed by the variety of food for everyone! There's a range of chicken, beef, pork and seafood! Some of the buffet items include: sushi, kung pao chicken, chicken and broccoli, hibachi fried rice, veggie fried rice, lo mein, bbq chicken, thai chicken, crab wontons, spring rolls, and sooo much more! It's $12.99 per person for lunch and that doesn't include drinks. I'd say we def got our moneys worth during lunch! Not overcrowded but enough people to feel like you're not alone there. Waiters are sooo fast to pick up plates and refill water. We will absolutely be back!!

Here today! HELL YEAH I recommend! This buffet is the absolute best I've ever eaten at! My pictures are a little distorted because I was in a hurry to Grab and Go to work, EVERY steam table had goodness which was fresh, hot and mouth watering. If it wasn't for y'all I wouldn't have taken pictures of the meat options because the baby back barbecue sticky ribs was calling me like they knew me personally, WTH! Do you see how much meat was on those ribs? Anywho, they had at least a dozen options of sushi AND many options at their Hibachi Grill! Flamin Grill & Buffet offers every fruit and vegetable thats grown on God's green earth (the cantaloupe was soft and sweet z) Desert, let's not go there, had the Asian donuts too-crispy and lightly powdered! Looook y'all loook! I was in such a hurry and was trying to take a panoramic photo but couldn't get right because I wanted to dig in and I had to get to work on time. Because this is Boston, I had to be meticulous about how much to put in my To-Go box but surprisingly it wasn't pricey. I just had to be a food fatty and add more after it I was told I was under $15. NOT to mention, I made an excuse in my mind not to cook and returned the very next day! Here today! Flaming Grill and Buffet see ya tomorrow!

What days are the seafood options? For example, are the oysters still on the buffet menu?

It's not a question of what day, Seafood is served at Dinner after 3:30 pm and yes they do serve raw oysters on the shell.

On the smaller side compared to some buffets I have gone to but despite that have a good variety of options. At least enough that everyone in your party should find something. Lots of drink options including some boba milk tea. The tables are adorned with beautiful artwork which was a nice touch and staff was friendly. The biggest negative was a majority of the food being closer to cold than hot and warm. This was disappointing due to us being there at what seemed like a busy time. Also along the lines of the food nothing we had really wowed us either. I would best describe it all as average hence the three stars. The prices were reasonable with the pina colada being under 10, that was a surprise. Overall, if you are like my wife and I, looking for a quick bite without a wait this may be your spot to check out.

This place has been around for a while and I've been there many times. After all these years, this…read moreplace is still one of the top options if you're looking for value and variety. The food is not gourmet by any means, but you will have a good abundance of selection between their prepared hot foods, cold foods and fruits/desserts and their wonderful hibachi grill. There is also sushi, but I won't comment on that as I'm not a sushi eater myself. My wife is, but she says to beware in that section. The hibachi is my favorite part. If you're going for lunch, it's only $15 per person and one plate at the hibachi bar makes it worthy already. I love picking out my carb (rice or noodles) and then my selection of meats and veggies. I love the artificial crab, eggs, and various veggies. My go-to sauce is the teriyaki with spicy sauce. It hits everytime! The only gripe with the hibachi bar is they cook everything super well done. There are lots of fruit options, many desserts to choose from and there is ice cream. The rest of the hot foods bar is hit or miss. There are some that I enjoy, some that I don't. The seating area is very large, so any number of people can be accommodated here. The staff appear pretty friendly. They continue to takeaway our used plates quickly. They also offer takeout food priced by the pound, i think $6.99? Lots of parking here. Come with an open mind and just don't expect gourmet quality food. You come here for quantity and variety. For the price, you can't beat it.

The amount of steamed clams and fried crabs I ate, it was worth more than $44 lol This Medford location isn't bad but very small compared to the other two locations (revere and american legion highway). Was disappointed that their crawfish were really bad. All dead and black. I was hoping to get 5-6 plates in lol

The only negative thing about this fantastic buffet was their subjective pricing. As other…read morereviewers mentioned they sometimes change you more per pound (if you're paying per pound) if you have "more meat than buffet items." I tried to balance out my plate to be half and half and scored the 14.49 rate but if the staff thought I had too much meat I would have paid 19.99 per pound instead. lol. Otherwise I was a fan, the meat was tender juicy and flavorful (especially the steak) and the buffet items were really good as well (polenta and fried plantains were standouts) The wait staff were just okay, my waitress was just standing near the front and I tried to get her eye contact but that didn't work so when the manager came by to check on me (she didn't) I asked him if he could send her to pay. Overall a decent experience but because of their pricing model I won't likely come again.

This place was packed on Sunday around 2pm, seems like it's the go-to spot for post Church lunch…read more Honestly, it was giving chaos. It was our first time and we just got in line, luckily, someone let us know we had to go up and leave our name with the guy holding the tablet ; there were no directions/signs or staff to direct. Despite the crowd, we were seated in about 20ish minutes. We did the per pound option instead of AYCE and that's what most folks were doing. Service, once we were seated, was attentive, food was good. They could have done a better job at keeping the buffet options stalked, they were out of 3 options. This is definitely a more casual place, no frills and closer to an everyday Brazilian churrascaria. Overall, it was fine, if I were in the neighborhood and looking for a bite, I would stop in again.

If you stick with the seafood, you're going to have a great meal. That said, keep in mind it is a seafood restaurant. They have chicken wings on the menu, we figured we'd get them to share until the food came out.. They were honestly terrible. The order we received came with six extremely small, overcooked pieces that were so dry and tough looking they weren't even edible. Just looking at them we didn't bother as they weren't at all appetizing. I'm not sure if it was a bad day, a supply issue, or something else entirely, but they were a complete miss. Speaking of, service can be hit or miss as well. This past weekend, we had a wonderful server who was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. The visit before that, however, was the exact opposite. Our server--who seemed to be either a manager or assistant manager--spent nearly all of his time chatting up a table of women, clearly trying to get phone numbers. Trying to get his attention for anything felt like a major inconvenience. What motivated me to write this today is that not only was the service good on our latest visit, but we also tried the fried seafood instead of the usual seafood boil--and it was absolutely excellent, and not at all expensive. Both the fried shrimp plate and the fried clam plate were outstanding. If you haven't tried their fried options, or not in the mood to put on gloves and dig into a seafood boil, don't sleep on their fried seafood. It was surprisingly impressive. Overall: great seafood, inconsistent service, avoid the wings entirely, and definitely give the fried dishes a try.

I would tell anyone that doesn't like incredibly fatty meat, or that likes their food cooked beyond medium rare to dine elsewhere. The hostess was friendly, we told her we had never been to the restaurant before, she quickly walked us thru the menu. Our waiter came by, we told him we had never been there before. We ordered various dishes, and plates of meat were dropped off. No explanation whatsoever. As he turned to leave, I said again, we'd never been there before. No insight into how best/long to cook anything. Every meat dish was incredibly fatty, like, 2/3rds fat. I placed meat on the grill, it cooked very slowly. I asked him to turn up the temperature as we liked our meats cooked well, so he turned the heat up. At one point he said he was going to swap out the grill-pan, and turned the heat down, while meats were still cooking. This was incredibly frustrating, I felt like food was taking forever to cook, and the longer I sat there staring at the meat, the more annoyed I got. It was all you can eat. We didn't finish our first order of 5 dishes we were so annoyed. It was not worth the money, it was an unejoyable experience. I've only been to a few self-cook Korean restaurants previously, and generally liked them. I think the staff needs to be more aware when someone asks for guidance, that they should try to be more engaged. I left angry, and still hungry.

Overall, the meat was good, which is what you hope for at a Brazilian steakhouse. The lamb is always a hit, but the steak was also nicely cooked and perfectly salted. However, some of the items at the buffet bar were underwhelming and didn't quite match the quality I've experienced before. The cheese bread was cold, and the fried yucca lacked flavor. A few other buffet items also felt like they had been sitting out for a while. The total came to about $135 (before tip) for what we ordered, which felt steep given the food quality and overall experience. In hindsight, I wish I had asked for an itemized receipt to better understand how everything was priced. Service was mixed. The guy carving the meat was excellent and definitely a highlight, but beyond that, the service was pretty meh. All things considered, I'd probably skip the East Boston location next time and head back to Oliveira's in Somerville, where the food and service have consistently been better. At this price point, I might even opt for Fogo de Chão instead.
